2025 Kenworth T280 Custom Palfinger Hooklift Truck

---

Under CDL — No CDL Required

This isn't a spec truck. It's a finished machine — built by Smith Truck Body in Central Michigan with the same attention to detail we bring to every vocational upfit. Pull containers from day one.

The Hooklift:The Palfinger PHT22-M brings 22,000 lbs of lift capacity with an adjustable 54"/62" arm width and compatibility with 12–16 ft containers (some states allow longer). It's one of the most versatile hooklifts in the under-CDL class — and it's paired with a chassis that keeps you out of CDL territory without sacrificing payload.

Built-In Intelligence:A Vulcan onboard scale with printer means you know your weight before you ever leave the yard — no guessing, no violations. Dual cameras (rear bumper and tarp gantry) feed a single in-dash monitor so you can see what's happening behind and above you without leaving the seat.

Load Management:The Roll-Rite DC203 automatic tarp system keeps your loads covered and your operation compliant. Two Protech toolboxes (36×24×24 and 48×24×24) handle the gear you need on every run.

The Finish:Metallic dark grey and metallic orange on the hoist, frame, and tarp system. Custom red, white, and blue underglow. This truck gets noticed — on the yard, on the road, and on the jobsite. It is a rolling billboard for your business.
